Species Gorilla
First appearance Saturday Supercade ("Gorilla Ghost") (1983)

Uncle Julius is a character from the Saturday Supercade episode "Gorilla Ghost." He is Donkey Kong Jr.'s uncle and lives in a city zoo.

He first appears at the beginning of the episode to explain to his nephew and Bones about the Gorilla Ghost. That night, he confirms that the Gorilla Ghost appears to steal the elephants.

The Gorilla Ghost comes after Uncle Julius next. Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones attempt to send him off, but get themselves in peril. To assist, Uncle Julius uses his "Monkey Muscle!" to unveil the Gorilla Ghost's true identity. Aurora then appears and kidnapps Uncle Julius, Donkey Kong Jr., and Bones.

After Donkey Kong Jr. distracts the Gorilla Ghost, Uncle Julius breaks out of his chains and hides in boulders along with his nephew and Bones. However, Aurora soon spots them and ties them up again. Uncle Julius then simply uses a sharp stone to break free, and he and his nephew pursue Aurora and the Gorilla Ghost on boulders, while ripping out the entrance gates and bending it into a cage. After Aurora and the Gorilla Ghost are thrown in, Uncle Julius names it "Crook Exhibit."

Uncle Julius thanks Donkey Kong Jr. and Bones for liberating the zoo, and waves goodbye to the two as they continued their search for Donkey Kong.
